Platform Integration
Because HCI will most likely be built on commodity hardware, enterprises have a greater ability to integrate numerous data platforms and virtual architectures than in the past. Not that these systems will necessarily work together seamlessly, but they will no longer require their own hardware to provide effective service.
Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) represents one of the most significant shifts in data center hardware since the rack server (mostly) displaced the mainframe. Relying on integrated compute-storage-networking modules and offering rapid scalability, HCI has the potential to dramatically alter the IT landscape over the next decade. But while HCI is certainly innovative in design, its true measure lies in the practical benefits it brings to data center management and operations. Here then are 10 ways in which the enterprise stands to benefit from HCI.
